'''Ricardian Socialism''' is an ideology that argues the Ricardian notion that labor is the source of all value, and as such labor deserves all that it produces. Rent, profit, and interest in the view of this ideology are corruptive forces of the free market, not natural outgrowths of this system. The Ricardian Socialists argue that the best way for a market society to function is one where associations of workers control the means of production, which is believed to eliminate the inherent inefficiency of a financial drain at the head of a company. 

==History==
===[[File:Ricardocube.png]] Ricardianism===

===Charles Hall Thought===

===[[File:WilliamThompson.png]] Thompsonism===
'''William Thompson''' was an Irish philosopher and writer known as the "first Irish socialist", whose ideals influenced Karl Marx and numerous trade union movements. He was also a landowner, on which he tried to provide a good quality of life for his tenants, providing education for children, agricultural innovations, among others. After his death, his lands were donated to unions.

He supported the French Revolution and became interested in the Enlightenment, earning him the nickname "Red Republican". He was also influenced by the utilitarianism of [[File:Utility.png]] [[Radicalism|James Mill]] and, in a negative way, by Malthus and Godwin, as well as becoming familiar with Utopian Socialists. He believes in Adam Smith's theory of value, but he strongly believes in Surplus Value, a term which he created and became popular with Marx, in which he states that in capitalism, the product is worth more than the work given to it, that is, a more value.<ref>To make it easier, a hypothetical example: In a sock factory, each worker earns 10 coins for every sock made, while socks are sold for 20 coins. It would then generate the exploitation of the salaried worker.[[W:Surplus value|More detailed Wikipedia page on the subject]], in addition to recommending Marx's books</ref> He claims that capitalism generates exploitation and opposes the idea of Mill and Malthus that the increase in wages would increase misery, believing it to be of a capitalist selfish nature, believing in any kind of wealth distribution schemes. He was also in favor of women's voting rights, along with Mill. Other ideals would be the concern with the increase of the population would generate in the increase of the poverty, vegetarianism, opposition to unequal wages, unlimited distribution and equal distribution.

=== [[File:ArturoLabriola.png]] '''Arturo Labriola Thought''' ===
'''Arturo Labriola''' (1873–1959) was an Italian socialist theorist, politician, and journalist whose ideological evolution traversed radical Marxism, syndicalism, and later corporatist experimentation. His thought occupies a transitional space within European political theory, reflecting the tensions between revolutionary socialism and nationalist adaptation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Labriola’s intellectual trajectory incorporated [[File:Bernst.png]]'''reformist Marxism''', [[File:Radlib.png]]'''radicalism''', and [[File:Sorel.png]]'''Sorelianism''', while later developing into forms of [[File:AuthLiberalsoc.png]]'''authoritarian liberal socialism''' and [[File:Leftcorp.png]]'''left-corporatocracy''', positioning him as a complex and often contradictory figure within Italian political history.

Born in Naples, Labriola entered politics during a period of intense social unrest and ideological ferment in post-unification Italy. He was initially influenced by socialist pioneers such as [[File:AndreaCosta.png]]Andrea Costa, whose legacy of early parliamentary socialism informed Labriola’s engagement with labor movements and political reform. 

In his early career, Labriola was aligned with [[File:Bernst.png]]'''reformist Marxism''', advocating for the gradual transformation of capitalist society through political organization, trade unions, and legislative reform. However, he simultaneously engaged with more militant strands of thought, including [[File:Sorel.png]]'''Sorelianism''', drawing on the ideas of Georges Sorel to emphasize the role of myth, collective will, and direct action in mobilizing the working class. This synthesis of reformism and radicalism produced a distinctive approach that rejected passive political participation while stopping short of fully embracing insurrectionary revolution.

Labriola’s engagement with [[File:CapAnti_Clerical.png]]'''anti-clericalism''' was a defining feature of his early ideology. Like many Italian socialists of his era, he viewed the Catholic Church as a reactionary force aligned with conservative elites, obstructing social progress and the emancipation of the working class. This position was accompanied by a complex relationship with Freemasonry. While Labriola’s thought incorporated elements of [[File:Esosoc.png]]'''Masonic socialism''', reflecting the influence of Enlightenment ideals and fraternal networks, he also expressed [[File:Anti_Freemason_.png]]'''anti-Masonry''' at various points, critiquing what he perceived as its elitism and insufficient commitment to social transformation. This tension illustrates the fluid and often contradictory nature of his ideological development.

Labriola’s political evolution also included a strong rejection of certain contemporary movements. His stance can be characterized as [[File:AntiAntifa.png]]'''anti-Antifa''', insofar as he opposed forms of loosely organized, extra-parliamentary activism that he believed lacked coherent ideological direction or strategic discipline. Instead, he favored structured political organization and state-oriented solutions, aligning with his broader inclination toward [[File:AuthLiberalsoc.png]]'''authoritarian liberal socialism''', in which centralized authority was seen as a necessary instrument for achieving social and economic reform.

During the early 20th century, Labriola’s thought began to incorporate elements of [[File:Pareto.png]]'''Paretoism''', influenced by the sociological theories of Vilfredo Pareto. This introduced a more elitist dimension to his worldview, emphasizing the role of capable leadership and the inevitability of hierarchical structures within society. This perspective complemented his growing interest in [[File:Leftcorp.png]]'''left-corporatocracy''', a system in which economic and social organization would be structured through corporative bodies representing different sectors of society, balancing class interests within a coordinated framework.

Labriola’s political activity during World War I marked a significant shift toward [[File:Irridentism.png]]'''irredentism''', as he supported Italian territorial expansion and national consolidation. This position reflected a broader trend among European socialists who reoriented their ideology in response to the pressures of total war, integrating national objectives with social reform. His wartime stance demonstrated the adaptability of his thought, as he reconciled socialist principles with nationalist priorities.

In the interwar period, Labriola’s engagement with [[File:Corptism.png]]'''corporatism (in the 1930s)''' became more pronounced. While distinct from the fascist corporatism implemented under Benito Mussolini, Labriola’s version sought to integrate labor and capital within a regulated system that preserved social welfare while maintaining economic efficiency. This approach reflected his broader commitment to '''authoritarian liberal socialism''', combining state intervention with elements of market organization and social protection.

Labriola’s later ideological trajectory also intersected with [[File:Natsynd.png]]'''national syndicalism''', as he explored the potential for syndicalist structures to operate within a national framework. This development further illustrates his attempt to reconcile class-based politics with national identity, a recurring theme throughout his career. His engagement with [[File:Nicola_Bombacci.png]]'''Bombaccism''', associated with the figure of Nicola Bombacci, highlights his openness to hybrid ideological models that blended socialism with elements of authoritarian and nationalist thought.

Culturally and socially, Labriola’s thought incorporated elements of [[File:WelfChauvin.png]]'''welfare chauvinism''', emphasizing the provision of social benefits primarily for the national community. This position aligned with his broader nationalist orientation and his belief in the importance of social cohesion. At the same time, his radical roots and commitment to social justice remained evident, creating a tension between inclusivity and exclusivity within his ideological framework.

*[[File:Plutocrat.png]] [[Plutocracy]] - You're an economic drain, siphoning wealth away from the workers and contributing nothing valuable to the systems you control. 
*[[File:Merc.png]] [[Mercantilism]] - Oh good lord, if it wasn't enough to exploit workers at home, you've decided to throw a little imperialism in to exploit the rest of the world, and eliminate the one good part of capitalism, free trade. I really hope capitalists in the future don't end up learning from you and exploiting foreign labor and consumption, impoverishing and enslaving the future equivalent of a colonial citizen .
